SO. Exercise. The bane of my existence.
I always knew I’d have to exercise someday.
Whether to to be healthy or stronger, or tp keep slim when my metabolism finally breaks down on me wtf.
When I was younger, I promised myself maybe I’d start exercising when I’m old. Like 30. HAHAHA.
And sweet Jesus, I’m 30 now. O_O
I have finally accepted my own mortality wtf. Which is why I’ve started working out for the past two months actually. I jumped on the Kayla’s BBG bandwagon because Bobo started doing it a year ago and I was super impressed with her results. I was pregnant with Penny then and I said I would start it when I’m all done giving birth.
Well guess what I am wtf.
So I embarked on my Kayla journey. To be specific, my Kayla journey to hell. Cos that was what it felt like hahahaha.
Obviously I’m not a fan of exercise. But I know people like me who, once they got into it, started to have fun.
Well guess what. It’s been 7 weeks and I’m still not having fun fml hahahaha.
I’ve gotten sliiightly better but the beginning was horrific. Kayla is intense!!!!!
For starters, I had no equipment or preparation at all.
I used Fighter’s shampoo bottles as dumbbells.
I used a bathmat for traction (and got carpet burn)
I used my toilet bowl as a bench for step-ups WTF.
(You can rightly conclude I exercised in the toilet wtf)
Exercise savvy friends were horrified hearing this hahahahaha. They were like, WOI DON’T USE TOILET BOWL VERY HIGH AND DANGEROUS.
I was like no worries, next to my toilet bowl is my towel rack so I held on to it. Hahahaha.
And friends be like: “….”
Anyway, since then I’ve improved. I borrowed a yoga mat from my sister in law. I bought two sports bras from H&M which are used in heavy rotation wtf. I bought two teeny dumbbells which weigh like two pounds each wtf. I appropriated Fighter’s Ikea stool to use as a stepping bench.
But occasionally I still feel like puking wtf. I used to get headaches after workouts but thank goodness those have stopped. I still contemplate suicide hate myself for starting this regime and curse Kayla for concocting horrible Cirque du Soleil type exercises hahahaha.
But I’ve been sticking to it. I haven’t missed one day so far and while I’ve cheated (cut short a few times by a few minutes cos I really thought I might throw up wtf) I haven’t let myself skip anything because I know once I start I won’t start again.
That said, here are a few ways you can cheat at Kayla and tell yourself you’re not cheating WTF.
- Turn on the timer then slowly go open the file/booklet to look at the first exercise wtf.
- Once in a while, pause because it’s absolutely crucial to check the timer cos you know, you need to know how much time you have left wtf.
- Put your weights in the furthest corner so when it’s time to use, you have to go there to take them wtf.
- Halfway, adjust your sports bra wtf
- Or retie your hair wtf
I’m like the worst BBG practitioner cos I don’t do any of the low intensity or high intensity exercises besides her recommended circuits. And I definitely don’t eat clean because I very scared I lose too much weight so I eat even more WTF.
The other day I ate a fried rice portion for 2-3 people fml. And the day before I ate a whole regular pizza by myself + garlic bread wtf.
So maybe my results won’t be as obvious but quite surprised still got!
Before starting BBG VS 6 weeks in.
Before and after.
Got a bit of difference right!!
So while I hate it…. BRB while I choke my hatred down and get back on the yoga mat. Hahahaha.
P/S: I am now in week 8.

no difference, still look the same tbh
I can see you muscle ab in after, you are doing a good job, a little make a different.
Hi Audrey, can you share the BBG guide? Thank you!
You have to buy it! Erm I don’t want to break any copyright laws by sharing it here sorry!
Hehe thank you!
Thank you for being such a downer. I didn’t say there was a big difference but there definitely is a difference especially in the side view photo. I may not have defined abs but even my posture is straighter and my waist is tighter. I’m proud of myself for sticking with it so far. Sorry you felt you had to be ungracious about it.
Thanks for complimenting Audrey! i’m sure you meant that even pre exercise her body was already very nice! but why you say no difference? besides the rather prominent ones Audrey pointed out for you – i can actually spot a few others: different top no stool and toiletries bag.
perhaps you can exercise too! firstly your vision and secondly on how to not be a cunt.
I recently started on BBG too! I’m only in my 2nd week and it’s been killing me, but knowing you’re doing it too gives me more motivation than ever. 🙂
Hahaha idiot! <3
Oooh good luck with it! It gets worse. HAHAHA
Hi Audrey, I’ve started BBG few months back and I felt so sick after the first workout so I stopped. Few days back, I decided to try it again & the same happened. I felt so sick afterwards and keep gagging, did that happen to you? Sigh! I really wanted to continue on the workout after seeing the results from your photo 🙁
Hi Audrey !!! i will be starting the BBG soon but i am a bit worry because i do not have a gym membership and i was wondering if using normal household items will work? i did some little research and almost everyone uses the gym’s facilities as a college student is going to burden my parents if i do join the gym. After seeing you doing it without any gym facilities, i wonder if is possible to just stick with normal items?? thanks for giving me some hope by using normal items . HAHAHA .
